THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE PROBLEM GETTING TO MY CRUISE

Editorial Summary

The creator discusses the complexities of international travel requirements during the pandemic, specifically regarding COVID-19 testing for upcoming cruises. She compares the different protocols for her upcoming trips on the Holland America Rotterdam and the Celebrity Beyond. For the Celebrity Beyond cruise in the Mediterranean, she notes that while she does not need a test to fly from Canada to Italy, she will be tested at the cruise port. In contrast, her trip on the Rotterdam requires a test three days before boarding. The creator highlights a potential complication involving her flight itinerary. Although her final destination is Amsterdam, her booked route includes a stopover in New Jersey. This transit requires her to meet United States testing requirements even though she is not leaving the airport to enter the country. She advises travelers to research the specific testing regulations for every country involved in their flight path, including stopover locations, to avoid unexpected issues during their journey.
